Plate Tectonic

  Plate tectonics is theory that support the earth is made up of many piece of land.

  Continental drift is a evidence that support plate tectonic because theory of continental drift prove that there was a big piece of land call Pangaea slow break into 7 continent we have today. Theory of plate tectonic is true because similar fossils and rock type were found in different continent and all continent can fit like a puzzle.

  Type of boundary also support the theory of plate tectonic. Convergent boundary is when two plate come together and it create mountains so we have many mountain today. Divergent boundary is when two plate move apart it create rift valley and mid-ocean-ridge that why we have those feature today.Transform boundary is when two plate slide each other that why we have earthquake and tsunami.

  Convection current is when the heat rise from mantle to the crust and it cools down and sink back down convection current is a piece of evidence because convection current is cause the plates to move so we have those different type of boundary.

  I agree with the theory of plate tectonic because there are many evidence that prove the theory of plate tectonic is true.

He had an idea about earth and other planet are revolting around the sun. Later a man call Galileo use his telescope to observe the universe and supported the theory of heliocentric.

Critical Thinking Question
                 (How is earth affect by revolution)

   Earth revolution affect the earth in many ways one example is seasons. Earth have different seasons because one half of the orbit is longer than other half so the earth get different amount of sunlight at different place so there are different seasons on earth.
